NOTICE.

Owing to the weekly increasing difficulty of folding the "SPECTATOR" by hand, the paper will in future be printed by a rotary machine. Advantage has been taken of this change to meet the demand frequently made by our readers, and especially by travellers in railway trains, that the paper shall be issued cut and stitched. Our first issue in January, 1899, and all subsequent issues, will accordingly be folded, cut, and stitched by machinery. Care has -been taken that the paper, in spite of the cutting, shall retain its present appearance.
